Murayama, Kou; Sakaki, Michiko; Yan, Veronica X.; Smith, Garry M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
In order to examine metacognitive accuracy (i.e., the relationship between metacognitive judgment and memory performance), researchers often rely on by-participant analysis, where metacognitive accuracy (e.g., resolution, as measured by the gamma coefficient or signal detection measures) is computed for each participant and the computed values are…

Liao, Hsiang-Ann – College Teaching, 2014
Collaborative learning has been found to benefit students in various disciplines. Moreover, in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics literature, it was noted that minority students benefited the most from collaborative learning. Studies on the effects of collaborative learning in communication are limited. As a result, I examined…
